Why PDI Driving Iron?

The Pinhawk PDI driving iron melds the forgiveness and distance of a long hybrid with the control of an iron: great for use off the tee as a fairway finder OR off the turf to hit a long, controlled fairway shot. The unparalleled versatility and accuracy of this club will have you pulling it from your bag multiple times per round.

Another thing you'll love about the PDI is the solid sound. Driving irons have the tendency to sound and feel rough at impact, but not the PDI. At 17.5 degrees of loft, the PDI is built for distance, and the hollow body and internal construction is designed to reduce vibration and promote a muted, solid feel.

Game-improvement
design

Like all other Pinhawk products, it is top-shelf quality, and is designed and perimeter weighted for forgiveness so that even a less than perfect shot will turn out useful. We are convinced you will love the Pinhawk PDI Driving iron as much as we do!

Customer Reviews

How can we help you?

Frequently asked questions

Are they USGA legal?

Yes. They are listed as irons conforming to USGA standards on the USGA Informational Club Database. They are listed under Pinhawk, right after Ping.

What handicaps are they good for?

All handicaps. We’ve had success with these irons from hackers all the way to club champions. They help with consistency, and any golfer can use that.

Has anyone of note played using single lenght irons?

Moe Norman, who is considered one of the best ball strikers of all time used single-length irons. Also, Bryson DeChambeau won the John Deere Classic with SL irons, meaning they are now officially PGA Tour winners. We’re also excited to mention that Gareth Shaw, a European Tour player, is putting Pinhawks into play.

Have any studies been done on the efficacy of single lenght irons??

Besides being proven by real-world play, studies have been done to prove that they are a concept that works. Dave Tutelman, a veteran golf industry engineer, did research on constant-length irons. Read Dave’s extensive academic investigation here.

Mr. Tutelman also wrote an article detailing his experience with playing Pinhawks. The article is here. (In short, they are “in the bag”!) You may also want to check out press we’ve been getting from this article in Golf Digest and this article from the LA Times.

Do you have any competitors for Single Lenght Irons? Who else sells them?

We do have a few competitors. The only one whom we feel has similar quality and expertise behind their product is found here. If you don’t purchase from us, we urge you to purchase from them. Keep in mind, they only sell assembled clubs.

What tip trimming instructions should I follow?

Follow the shaft manufacturer’s tipping instructions for a 7 iron. For example, if you are building a set with True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts, they recommend tipping 3” for a 7 iron. You would tip trim ALL the shafts in the set at the same 3 inches off the tip. Remember, all the heads are the same weight. Then butt cut to your length. It’s as simple as that!

What lenght is best for me?

We suggest a typical 7 iron length (37”); that is the “sweet spot” for most players.  If you are exceptionally tall or short, however, consider your “wrist-to-floor” measurement. For more details on how to measure your wrist-to-floor, look under “Club Length” here.

Are they available for left-handed players?

Yes. We also offer left-handed #4 hybrids.

What are the irons made of? Can they be bent?

Because they are made of high-quality 431 Stainless Steel, they can easily be bent up to 2° upright or 2° flat.

How long will it take me to get used to single-lenght clubs??

We’ve had some shoot low scores right out of the gate, and we’ve had some say that it takes a few rounds for their brain to get used to the concept. Ultimately, it depends on the player.

Can't I buy a conventional set of iron heads and just make them all the same lenght?

No. The short iron heads would be too heavy, and the long iron heads would be too light. This would cause a multitude of problems. Unless you are adept at grinding and are very creative with your weighting, it is truly impossible. In addition, your loft gaps on regular iron heads would not be correct for single-length iron application.

Why don't the major golf companies do this?

Basically, major companies aren’t going to take that kind of “risk” and attempt to change the design perception of the entire golf industry, nor are they willing to take the time and expense to educate the consumer.

Jaacob Bowden (who runs swingmangolf.com, and is a proponent of single-length irons) had a sit down with a major golf company CEO who had this to say about the subject:

“It’s a tough concept to sell. Reality: In the US golf industry there are 6 major chains that buy product that is sold to what constitutes 85% of the market. All but roughly 2-3 % of the rest is sold in golf pro shops and they are influenced by the retailers. The buyers for these major chains only buy what is played on tour, and pretty much in order of market share. Like it or not, we dance to that tune. To introduce something like single-length after investing in the design, we’d have to spend millions on marketing and… get tour credibility, because no product is successful at retail without it.”
